Brigitte Bardot

With her explosive beauty, legendary sulk and forthright speech, she has unquestionably been a genuine star. Actress and trendsetter, she has brought about a radical change in fashion: the honeycomb hairdo, gingham and checked clothes, the squares, the bikini... A goddess, flattered but also questioned.

An interview with the French diva Brigitte Bardot:

"I'm full of contradictions; I can be defiant and vulnerable, bold and timid, impatient and sweet, angry and desperate", she admits. "I hang on, I'm strong; then I break into tears and my heart embraces all the sufferings of this world, be they of animals or human beings; the despair of my fellow being cannot leave me indifferent".
